A Frog He Would a-Wooing Go?

While we were out and about the other day, I bought a CD of nursery rhymes, called this:

Ring-a-Ring O' Roses

(My CD actually has a more cartoon-like cover of kids holding hands in a circle)

Now if you are an American, you might think they got the title wrong.  What it "should" say is: Ring-Around the Rosie, right?  Well, the interesting thing about this CD is that it is British, produced by the English Heritage Society.  So, I thought it would be interesting to let our kids learn a few of the old-favorites nursery rhymes, but with a twist.  (Though, I don't think I knew quite how big of a twist it would be when I was buying the CD).  Some of the songs have different lyrics and different tunes.  And in true British pomp, it is accompanied by stringed instruments and sung by British choral-like voices.

What about you?  What was your favorite (or shall I say favourite) nursery rhyme?  Here are a few that are included on the CD:

1. Ring-a-Ring O'Roses
2. Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush
3. Baa Baa Black Sheep
4. Three Blind Mice
5. Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill
6. Hot Cross Buns
7. Hickory Dickory Dock
8. Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star
9. Hush-a-Bye Baby On the Tree Top
10.  Humpty Dumpty

And some that you may not know:

1. The Grand Old Duke of York
2. Oranges and Lemons
3. I Had a Little Nut Tree
4. Lavender's Blue
5. Dance, a Baby Diddy
6. The North Wind Doth Blow
7. Who Killed Cock Robin?
8. If All the World Were Paper
9. Oats and Beans and Barley Grow
10. A Frog He Would a-Wooing Go

Hmm... What do these all mean?

Lastly, UPDATE: Our home study was finalized!  Woo Hoo!  We are getting closer now!  I will be awaiting a copy of it, so I can apply to USCIS.  Thanks for the prayers.
